KitchenAid GIVEAWAY via USA Today Your Life Magazine
There’s a new publication that hit the stands today by USA Today, designed specifically for women.
It’s called Your Life: Guide to Women’s Health.
Christine Neff, from USA Today, wrote an excellent article in this fabulous magazine called, “Holiday Entertaining Made Easy!”
I’m honored that she included RE as part of the interview on each beautiful page of this feature.
Take a peek at these fabulous pages!
There are fantastic recipes, tips on bringing the outdoors in, simplifying during the holidays, staying sane and “putting perfections aside,” and most importantly, realizing the benefits of entertaining.
There are so many benefits to entertaining, the most obvious in my opinion being forging beautiful relationships!
Your Life is also full of good eats, tips, advice, and plenty of reminders that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
Which brings us to our GIVEAWAY here today!
Do you own a stand mixer by KitchenAid? I think I’ve owned a couple in my 30 years of entertaining. I just wear them out, they’re used so much for baking, cooking, and canning. I tend to think of my KA as a friend, who I rely heavily upon. :)
Today in celebration of RE featured in USA Today, KitchenAid is giving away a 7-quart Stand Mixer. This product is brand new, so the winner will be one of the first to own it.
Here are the details (winner gets to choose between silver, black, or red):

Cooking for the Cure, presented by KitchenAid, reminds us that cooking with a purpose (and supporting the Cure) helps to bring an end to breast cancer in our lifetime.
Oh, how do I believe in this. My mom had breast cancer, and then ovarian cancer took her life. So cancer is fresh in our family and a reminder that we need to do all we can to help.

Hello and welcome to my home and table!
I’m Sandy—lover of food, family, cooking, THE BIG BOARD, travel, and bringing people together. Through great recipes and connection around the table, we become better, stronger, and more courageous people. Feasting on Life is real, and every time we do it, we grow a little more. Read more...
I used to make everything (in my former control freak phase). How un-fun was that? Now I realize that everyone has something special to make (or even seek out to buy). Holidays are now much more enjoyable and free-form when you potluck. Hooray for serindipity!
We usually like to do it all to provide a relaxing evening for our friends.
I “like” Kitchen Aid on Facebook!
Everyone usually brings something, because they ask to. It is fun.
Hey, my friend! What a great giveaway (thanks for sharing!) We host Thanksgiving and my husband and I share the cooking, which, in our very small kitchen, is no easy feat (we’re both kitchen control freaks!) We usually as both sets of grandparents to bring dessert. My teens insists on baking the pumpkin pies (which is a good thing!)
Depends on if I’m comfortable with the guests I’m having over if I potluck style or not. Usually if it’s a friend, AND they offer, then we’ll do potluck. If no one mentions bringing something then I just go ahead and do it all.

Congratulations on the feature, Sandy! How exciting! I am all about having everyone pitch in – less work for me, plus I get to sample dishes I normally wouldn’t have thought to make. It’s a win-win! :)

I like potluck events. That way you can taste all the dishes and find new recipes that you can use in the future. I do like to make the desserts though!

I liked Kitchenaid on facebook. The silver would be my favorite.
Whenever my friends and I celebrate a holiday or event, we like to do potluck style. We are all a bit younger (in our twenties), so this allows us to learn how to cook more often and teach each other new things.
